Unable to install any upgrades

I am unable to install any updates on my MBA with OS X 10.7.2. They all result in "An unexpected error occured". I have tried with lots of different updates, firware update, Lion update etc with the same result.
Any ideas?

The code below is from trying to install update "Airport Utility" version 6.0 from The standard OS X Software Update function. The user (me) is prompted with "An unexpected error occured". I have tried with EFI Firmware, Max OS X Update combined 10.7.3, All packages. The result is allways the same.
Thanks, Jesper

Can anyone help me? I recently bought a secondhand PowerBook G4 but there was no installation discs, where can I obtain a set as I am unable to install any software. Many thanks.

I recently bought a secondhand PowerBook G4 but there were no installation discs with it and at present I am unable to install any software, where is it possible to obtain a set of the discs so that I can reinstall the software to try and resolve this problem.
Many thanks.

You may also want to try eBay. Finding disks for a machine that old will be difficult though.
Best of luck.

After installing Trend Macro antivirus, I was unable to install any plugins. I get an "Unexpected Installation Error" message at the end of the installation. Closing the anti-virus does not help.

I have purchased Trend Micro Titanium Maximum Security and am now unable to install any plugins. I have had these plugins before and had no trouble with them but now they have disappeared. I tried closing the antivirus and added mozilla.org to the exceptions list but it did not help.

Unable to install any software on Nokia E5-00

Hi, I have updated my E5 software from .042.010 to .042.014 on 06/06/2011, after the updation I am unable to install any kind of software on my cellphone. At the time of installation, it somehow stop responding and I have to restart the phone to continue my work. Please advise what to do. RV

@rvdelhi
Although you would need to backup essential data first, it may be worth resetting device to "Out of box" state by keying in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by yourself).

Unable to Install any packages in Fink

I am unable to install any packages either via Fink commander or via the terminal. I was able to install some just the other day, so I don't know what went wrong.
I have not been able to get Fink commander to see any package lists, despite following every bit of advice I could find in these forumns and on the net. Also, I updated the repositories rsync as instructed on the net. I can see the list of Fink packages by running "Fink List". However, when I try to install "sudo apt-get install xyz package" I connstantly receive the error "xyz package not found".
I'm sure this is a case of operator error, only I don't know what that error might be. I would be most grateful for anyone's help in this regard as I really enjoyed the Fink programs like kdegames that I was able to install before I started having this problem.
My thanks to everyone for any assistance they can provide.

I appreciate your previous response, instructing me to enter "source /sw/bin/init.sh as a user in order to run Evolution.
My problem is that this solution only lasts until I logout. When I log back and and try to run evolution via terminal, I receive the error "Command not found". Once I enter your instruction again, all is well-for that session.
Is there a way I can do this globally and make it "stick"? By making it stick I mean so that I don't have to do it each time I want to run evolution.
These issues of course don't happen when evolution is run as admin user. Also, it's worth noting that evolution is the only fink program that causes these problems. Other KDE programs like kgeography and kmahjongg don't have such issues.
I appreciate any feedback you can give with this issue.

Unable to install any apps..did reset, reboot, restore but nothing works

unable to install any apps..did reset, reboot, restore but nothing works

so you want to restore as new not from a back up and then try to download a application. the purpose for this is the fact that if you restore from a back you then your just putting the save soft ware back on your phone. and if soft ware is the issue then this step just got voided out. if that doesnt work or you did do that then it can be something hardware related and it can be replace through apple for free if your under the hardware warranty

Qosmio F10-136 - Unable to install any drivers

I have a Qosmio F10-136.
I have recently formatted the hard drive. Since I had lost the recovery disc, I had to use another copy of Windows. I downloaded the drivers available online from the Toshiba website but I have been unable to install any drivers except the wireless LAN. Most driver setups refuse to run at all, some seem to install the files, but the driver is not detected.
Please advise.

> 1. Sound device not working still - When I install the audio effect driver (i.e. toshiba virtual sound), there does not seem to be any effect even though it is installed. Then, when I install the SoundMax Audio System, it gives me an that the driver does not exist.
What do you mean exactly by does not seem to be any effect. Can you hear the sound coming from the speakers? Are there any yellow exclamation marks related to the sound card? If not then the sound card driver has been installed properly and the sound should work!
> 2. I cannot figure how to install the LAN driver.
Where is the problem? Download the LAN driver, unzip the package, access the device manager, choose the unknown device (LAN card), point to the driver files downloaded from the Toshiba driver page and finish the installation.
The LAN card should be recognized properly.
> 3. Same with the TV tuner drivers; there is not setup file.
As mentioned above; you can install the drivers in device manager. Choose TV tuner in device manager (possibly marked as unknown device too.) point to the TV tuner driver files and finish the installation.
> 4. During the windows setup, I had created 3 drives, but I cannot access the drives D & E. When I try to access them, windows asks me to format them, but it gives me an error when I try to do so. Also, the hard drive is not shown in the disk management (not even C drive), so I cannot do anything. Although, the hard drive is shown in the device manager.
If other partitions have been created on the HDD then this should be visible in disk management. I dont believe that you cannot see even the C partition. In my opinion you didnt check this correctly.
Access the disk management (MY Computer, right click, manage). Choose Disk Management. There you should see the HDD and CD/DVD drive.
If the partitions have been created but not formatted then you would see just a free space.
Click right on this space and you could either format this or could delete the partition.
PS: I recommend using a 3rd party tool like Partitions Magic in order to create the partitions on the HDD (Win XP)!!!

Unable to install any android apps after upgrading to 10.3

Hello All,
Yesterday I updated my BB Z10 to 10.3.1.1865 software release and now I am not able to install any Android Apps on my Z10. I get a message as "You dont have enough Storage space available to install this app". Even a smaller app is not getting installed. I have 10 GB space on Device. Please help.

Unable to install any adobe product

Recently I uninstalled my Adobe InCopy and InDesign (CS6) applications using the Adobe installer. Something went wrong with one of them, as it did not properly uninstall CS6 and instead displayed an uninstaller error.
I've been troubleshooting for a couple of days now, installed the Adobe Cleaner tool and used it, went through tons of forum posts and the result is what I can only describe as a disaster.
Currently I am unable to install pretty much any Adobe product as every installer gives an error when trying to run it.
A list of the issues I have found:
- Adobe Application Manager does install, but produces a "Download error. Please contact customer support." with a Quit button when opening it.
- Adobe InCopy CS6 and InDesign CS6 installers fail with the message
- Adobe Acrobat Reader DC hangs on 90% for a while during installing and then says "Installation failed"
- Consequently, trying to download a Photoshop trial also gives the same error when it tries to launch the Application Manager.
- I do seem to be able to download Creative Cloud separately, but when it opens (which takes a while) I just get an eternal spinner.
I'm using a Mac with OS X Yosemite (10.10.2). Previous to the errors I had been able to run Adobe products for over a year without issues.

Hi Koen,
As we are encountering a couple of errors, let’s try to take them down one by one.
Firstly, let’s work on Download error and spinning wheel.

I am unable to install any updates to my MacBook?

Every time I try to update the software (when the Software Update" panel opens up), I can download the software but after downloading it says "Unable to install software" "An unexpected error occcured".....
I have plenty of HD space (100G available out of 320G), and I've tried repairing permissions, restarting etc but I still get the same error message.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi...
"Unable to install software" "An unexpected error occcured".....
If you have anti virus software instaled, disable that.
If that's not the issue, run Disk Utility to verify the startup disk. Not the same as repairing permissions.
Launch Disk Utility. Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click Verify Disk
If the disk needs repairing, follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks

Unable to install any applications with PCSuite

I have the latest PC Suite. Problem:
Cannot install any software onto the phone using either cable or bluetooth.
Cannot browse the phone using the Nokia Phone browser as it comes up with nothing...it wont show whats on the phone.
Only way I can transfer any software is via the obex file transfer method of sending it via a message.
Now, I dont know if this is due to an upgrade from Microsoft to sp2, as all was working about a month or so ago.
Bluetooth and usb connections are find and am using the latest drivers.
Sent an email to Nokia technical and just waiting for a reply..LOL.
Thanks to anyone who can shed any light on this for me.

Hi,
I actually prefer the functionality of manually installing phone apps as you describe instead of using the PC Suite.
I don't use PC Suite to install .sis or .jar phone applications as it's too buggy to use. Instead, I use BlueTooth to transfer the file manually to the phone...
- Locate the .sis or .jar file on your PC in Windows Explorer.
- Right Click the application file.
- Select, 'Send To', 'BlueTooth Device'.
- Transfer file to your phone.
In the phone go to your inbox and select the newly received message. The .sis or .jar application should then install. For me, PC Suite is just too hit and miss to rely on. I used to have a 7650 before getting my current N70 and PC Suite was a bit of a double whammy in that it was not only buggy but when it did work it used to suck resources from the Windows OS quite badly.
Again, I don't use the phone's built in file browser as it is too limited and hides too many folders, I guess mainly to protect newbies from crippling their smart phone. Instead I use FExplorer V1.15 which is an excellent piece of S60 freeware. The application is available from
http://www.gosymbian.com/
and imho is an essential app for any Series 60 smart phone. Be warned though!! If you don't know your way around the system directories and accidently delete the wrong system file you can end up seriously damaging your phone, just like Windows etc.
Hope that helps!
